Smollett Case Only One In Disturbing Trend

Mainstream Media Ignores The Real Victims

By: Jake Fogg

On February 18, 2019, Freedom Domain podcaster, Stefan Molyneux discussed the facts surrounding the recent Jussie Smollett hoax. Many radio show hosts and podcasters have already weighed in on the subject mostly for the purpose of showing the mainstream media and political hypocrisy surrounding the case.

Molyneux and others had many of the same talking points from Smollet’s connection to key Democrats who are trying to advance an anti-lynching bill to the potential that the failing actor potentially tried to keep himself from being written off the FOX original television series, Empire.

But Molyneux also showed a very disturbing trend that most in the media simply will not report. The mainstream media is quick to support any situation that fits the “Trump supporters are bullies” narrative and give little to no acknowledgement to when the scenario has been proven false. It seems that the real issue that is largely not being reported is the growing number of these false flag incidents.

However, Smollett’s high profile false-allegation case overshadows a much larger problem as Stefan Molyneux pointed out via Andy Ngo, another pod-caster and journalist. It turns out that this case was is not so unique as there have been numerous attacks and acts of vandalism staged in order to paint a picture of Trump supporters, white males, and conservatives in general, that better fits the leftist narrative.

In December of 2018, Kissie Ram of Drake University in Des Moines was charged with making false reports in the previous month for racial notes which she made to herself and other students. A total of four notes was made by her and a fifth note was made to Keith Walker earlier in the same month and is also suspected to be a hoax as Walker is not cooperating with police.

Colorado Springs, CO--September of 2017 racial slurs were written on dormitory message boards just outside rooms of black cadet candidates at the Air Force Prep Academy. This prompted Lt. Gen Jay Silveria, superintendent of the Air Force Academy, to deliver a fiery speech regarding the matter. Two months later, a black cadet admitted to writing the slurs. The cadet is no longer attending the academy and due to privacy concerns, it is unknown if he was expelled or left on his own.

Bean Blossom, Indiana- St. David’s Episcopal Church was vandalized in late November of 2016, just after Donald Trump was elected. A spray-painted swastika, the words “heil Trump” and “fag church” were found on a Sunday morning. The incident was widely publicized by many in the mainstream media including USA Today, CNN, The Southern Poverty Law Center, and the Washington Post (who had 15 articles published on it). This was, of course blamed on the election outcome, but the reality was that it was the church’s own organist, George Nathaniel Stang, who, in his own words was trying to “mobilize a movement” against the then president-elect.

In November of 2016, just before the election of Donald Trump, a black church in Greenville, Mississippi was vandalized with the words “vote Trump” and set ablaze. Originally called a “hate crime” by the media, it was later found out that the incident was a hoax perpetrated by one of Hopewell Missionary Baptist Church’s own members. In it’s reporting of the revelation that Andrew McClinton, a black felon started the fire, the Washington Post managed to dedicate the first three paragraphs of the story to an opinionated blaming the Trump campaign for the original presumption.

New York City, NY—On December 3, 2016, it was reported that 18 year-old Yasmin Seweid, a student from the Muslim Baruch College was reportedly harassed by three drunk white male Trump supporters on the subway train. According to Seweid, they kept screaming Trump’s name, called her a terrorist, broke her bag strap, and pulled at her hijab. However, on December 15, 2016 the young Muslim college student had been arrested for filing a false report after allegedly admitting to police that the story was made up. In its reporting, Washington Post once again provided an excuse for lie, by calling the original (false) report “all too familiar”, suggesting that real attacks from Trump supporters were at increased levels.

At the University of Michigan another Muslim student(authorities refuse to release the name) reported that on November 11, 2016, a white male demanded she remove her hijab, or he would set her afire with a lighter. The Ann Arbor Police determined that the story was once-again false. This, of course didn’t prevent The Council of American Islam Relations (CAIR-Hamas) from coming the lying woman’s defense, claiming that Islamaphobia is on the rise. Ironically, the pseudo-terrorist organization failed to acknowledge the increase in hate crimes against those deemed as “Trump supporters”.

Long Island, NY, Nassau Community College— In December of 2016, Indian-American Jasskirat Saini was arrested for at least ten occurrences of writing “KKK” and drawing swastikas on the college campus. Although his acts were in reaction to feeling slighted by the local Jewish community, initial media reports linked the graffiti to the election of Donald Trump and alt-right nationalism.

Jussie Smollett’s fake attack took place in Chicago where he claimed that he was told by his paid assailants that he was in “Trump Country.” This, of course was one of the ironies in his allegations. Chicago’s voter make-up is, much like that of New York—mostly progressive and NOT in support of Donald Trump. In September of 2018, Adwoa Lewis, a black 19 year-old woman, reported similarly to police that she had been accosted by four teenage Trump supporters who screamed “Trump 2016!” and told her she “didn’t belong here”. She also claimed that she found her car tire slashed the next day with a note that read “go home”. Police investigated and determined that the incident never occurred and Lewis admitted that she had written the note on the car.

In November of 2018, black students protested on the campus of Goucher College in Baltimore after racial graffiti was discovered. Swastikas, lists of names of black students and dorm rooms where they lived, and the term “I’m gonna kill all [ni----s]” were all found scrawled in a dorm bathroom. According to Baltimore police, Flynn Ajani Arthur, a 21 year-old black student, was arrested and charged with two counts of malicious destruction of property.

In early 2017, the Trump administration was blamed by the mainstream media for a series of bomb threats at Jewish Community Centers and organizations that took place all over the United States. It was found out later that former Intercept journalist Juan Thompson was responsible for at least a dozen of the fake bomb threats which he tried to pin on his ex-girlfriend.

In December of 2016, a black Philadelphia man, William Tucker, 58 was arrested for “racist and politically charged” graffiti that contained “Trump” on various properties. According to the Philly Voice, the man was charged by Philadelphia police with “vandalism among other offenses.”

Northfield, MN—St. Olaf College was the scene of protests which forced the college to cancel classes in May of 2017 due to a racist note that left pinned to a black student Samantha Wells’ car. The president of the college later said that the note’s author admitted that it was a hoax. Due to “privacy concerns” the college would not reveal Samantha Wells’ identity.

The aforementioned is only a small number of the numerous examples of fake crimes designed to appear as if whites, conservatives, or Donald Trump supporters engaged in acts of hate consistent with the media and leftist narrative.

The Southern Poverty Law Center(SPLC), a leftist anti-American organization has published several news stories regarding the rise in “hate” crimes since the election of Donald Trump. Being a communist-ideological organization, the SPLC stands against freedom and liberty of the masses. As such, its reporting relies on manipulation of data with the intent to trick Americans into trading liberty for governmental control of everyday life.

One such report, in November of 2017 held that the number of hate crimes reached “a five-year high” with a noticeable “uptick toward the end of the year around Donald Trump’s [election]”. The assumption was that Trump supporters were responsible for the increased hate crimes, but the publication showed no actual evidence of this.

As it was written, the FBI reported a 25.9% increase in hate crimes between October and December of 2016 versus the same time in 2015. However, the percentage is misleading in that it represents complaints with no supporting data. It is also unclear how many of the complaints are actual and how many are false.

The same article attempted to appear to break down the data, but essentially reported vague percentages so to continue the presumption that “racist Trump supporters” were responsible. The article claimed that “The FBI said 58.9% of victims were targeted because of their ethnicity, race or ancestry bias”, “21.1% were picked out because of their religious affiliation and 16.7% were attacked because of the offenders’ sexual-orientation bias.”

During the Trump campaign there were many incidents where Trump supporters were victims of violence due to whites who aligned with leftist groups such as Antifa and Black Lives Matter. In other words, the SPLC claimed that 46.3% of the hate crime offenders were white but did not bother to investigate or report how many of them perpetrated hate crimes against other whites who may have been Trump supporters.

Antifa, after all is a predominately white leftist organization that has, in recent years, become emboldened to commit more violent acts against conservatives and Trump supporters. The left in general has overall increased its level of violence against anyone that disagrees with its philosophy of government enslavement.

The mainstream media and many on the left have either made excuses or even downplayed Jussie Smollett's behavior. Those on the left who are upset with him see his staged act as demeaning to "real" victims in the intersectionality spectrum, particularly where black gay males are concerned. Yet not a word from the left has been dedicated to empathy for the victims for whom this action was targeted.

Chicago mayor, Raum Emanuel defended his city in a news interview with CNN's Don Lemon in which he railed against the media in its reporting of the matter. But rather than being upset with the false story itself offending a segment of his population, he worried angrily that it might prevent young people "struggling with [their]sexuality" from coming out in a city that could be considered homophobic. Similarly, Van Jones, in a separate interview was upset with Smollett because he used his sexuality as a way to try to gain more money.

However, no one on the left or in the mainstream media has even mentioned that this happened in an attempt to label literally half the population of the United States as racist in nature. Since the Smollett case is only one of many, it is likely that staged attacks will continue to happen. People will continue to stage fake attacks by fake Trump supporters and the mainstream media with do its damage and barely acknowledge when they get it wrong. The most important agenda for the left is to ensure that a narrative is followed at all costs--even if it is a lie.

A man sits back in his leather couch pointing a remote at the large wall hung TV. The TV comes to life with a news report on a local channel. “If you support President Trump, you’re a racist. Or more specifically; you’re “complicit” in the spreading of Trump’s racism.”

An angered voice in the room says “What? These people are lunatics “. The remote goes up and changes the channel, a reporter on the news channel blurts out “Donald Trump called all Mexicans rapists and killers”. The remote rises again and changes the channel. As I sit back and scratch my head and ponder in ceaseless curiosity at the main stream media and the obvious lean they have toward their liberal counterparts.

The obviousness of their favoritism is on a daily schedule. It rather befuddles an Individual with a higher standard of thinking to sit down and watch a news program or read through common magazine news article and hear and read the same worn out liberal trends about President Donald Trump. It's a constant barrage of persona bashing rhetoric, not on a mitigated or respectable capacity either. On a scale of rudeness from 1 to 10 , one being the lesser and ten being the worst , this reporter would give the news media a 9 and many times that 9 would step over the threshold to a 10. Most of the rhetoric you hear is mostly on attacking Donald Trump ! There is nothing that has come of it, none of it is factual. It's all conspiracy theories.

One week Trumps a Russian operative the next week he's going to cause world war three with Korea and the following week he's a racist, what's it going to be next week? So what's happened to America's free press? If you would check out and perform the research on all of this ad nauseum you’ll be quite surprised that the so called free press is attempting to make Trump look bad by passing off misinformation as the truth. By their constant barrage of accusations of Trump it's obvious what’s on their agenda, why it’s collusion with the liberals! The media is obviously a part of the systemic problem of what’s really going on in the United States.

Yes, educated America is getting nauseated by the news. I believe journalists absolute number one obligation to its public is to tell the truth. At least that's what I have believed since I was a child. No, the truth is not to elaborate on what an individual thinks the truth is and it's not pushing an ideology down someone's throat and certainly not lying for the sake of entertainment or sensationalism either.

America demands the truth! Another thing many journalists are in violation of is the ubiquitous and ever pervasive ethics regulation. What is that you may ask? The number one cardinal rule is that news shall only be reported where accuracy is substantiated. Please make note that there are sometimes ( I say sometimes because it's not enforced for lack of a certain keynote figure called a consequences to journalists actions as well but seemingly doesn't happen enough.)

Proof of such occurrences came in late June when CNN was forced to retract a story saying the Senate Intelligence Committee was investigating the nature of a meeting between a Trump transition team official and an executive of a Russian investment fund. The network said the story didn’t go through the supposed established checks and has apologized for any wrong doing.

Rumor has it that the writer, editor and the head of the research unit resigned. Unfortunately, I think that journalists have been doing this for quite some time now and we just didn't notice until they started printing verifiable lies and utilizing blue screen which both CNN and MSNBC were caught doing..

I guess the systemic problem goes back to the 1960's when After the Kennedy assassination, news correspondent and CBS news anchor Dan Rather was one of the few individuals who got to see the Zapruder film before the mass audience of Americans viewed it . Dan Rather said, pertaining to which way the president's head moved: “The head goes forward with considerable violence”. Now everybody has basically seen the Zapruder film and watching president Kennedy's head move backwards and to his left which leads me to think Dan Rather is just another mouthpiece for the American propaganda machine .

Why would anyone in their right mind report the opposite of what happened? I'll tell you why! More than likely Mr. Rather thought the Zapruder film would never air! That, or he was hoping that across the time span of fifty years people will forget but that's NOT the case here is it Mr. Rather?

We don’t forget, do we? His false claim puts him in the category of “LIAR", plain and simple! So in the realm of logical reality it boils down to the Truth cannot be disputed and lies and propaganda can be shot full of holes. Everyone seems to agree and consider the consequences of bending the truth or playing hocus pocus with the truth.

The truth is not a malleable substance to bend at ones will. Telling the truth should be at the top of every journalists list. Back in 2014 research was done under the guise of the “American Journalist" and found that out of 1,080 journalists surveyed , 28% were liberals , 7% conservative and 50% were independents . These numbers are pretty much skewed based on what's coming out of newsrooms.

The basic ethical principles of U.S. journalism descriptively expounded in the Society of Professional Journalists' Code of Ethics are suppose to be followed by journalists intently because their charter is to inform the public in a non-partisan, truthful manner. Let me repeat that again just in case you missed it: TO INFORM THE PUBLIC IN A NON-PARTISAN, TRUTHFUL MANNER. This charter is supposedly journalisms response to cognitive bias's and errors. They are supposed to correct these Cognitive biases and errors and express the truth in their endeavors. These particular cognitive biases are stereotyping, confirmation bias, bandwagon effect and fundamental attribution error etc.

The executive director of the American Press Institute, Tom Rosenstiel, concludes, “The numbers say newsrooms tilt independent.” My question for Mr. Rosenstiel would be “what news service are you talking about because it's definitely NOT the news service in the United States where the majority is liberal. Journalists in general should step back and reflect on the consequences of not telling the truth. If you’re going to be ideological manipulators the majority of self respecting individuals who may be considered your audience will never listen to you or read your columns anymore based on your propaganda!

That's right I said it “propaganda"! The last time the world had experienced such a level of propaganda had been in Nazi Germany in the 1930's and 1940's where the minister of propaganda, Joseph Goebbels would psychologically manipulate the people to the will of Adolph Hitler and the national socialist philosophy.

There is an urgent need in society to see shows and programs and read articles that aren't tainted with the seething ideological propaganda. Case in point, watch the Steven Colbert show, a supposed comedy program and if you’re a conservative you will find it less than funny based on the jokes are at the expense of a conservative fall guy. Not very funny Colbert! Is truth that difficult to find?

Is everyone actually listening or are they that gullible that they can be easily fooled by the media and Hollywood? My advice to everyone who thinks the news media is factual: Turn off the TV and throw away the magazines and start doing the real research and DON'T believe everything you see and hear , especially on TV ! Bill Kovach , a well read and respected journalist with Nieman Reports ,a website and quarterly print publication covering thought leadership in journalism which I might add promotes a superb editorial mission charter . Bill says “So what does a journalist’s obligation to the truth mean?

“Journalists themselves have never been very clear about what they mean by truthfulness. Journalism by nature is reactive and practical rather than philosophical and introspective. Rather than rushing to add context and interpretation, the press needs to concentrate on synthesis and verification. Whether it is secrecy or inability, the failure by journalists to articulate what they do leaves citizens all the more suspicious that the press is either deluding itself or hiding something." I agree with Bill entirely but I think they're doing both, deluding themselves and hiding something! (Bill Kovach 2016)

So what's really going on here? One shakes their head in wonderment at the mechanisms and motivation behind all this negative rhetoric from the liberals and the news media. Well first, the last eight years we had a liberal pirate in the White House doing whatever he darn well pleases. I don’t say president because what we experienced the last 8 years pre-Trump was not a valid presidential experience, it was a misinformation fiasco.

Obama is a staunch follower of Saul Alinsky and not to mention one of Obama’s role models and author of “Rules for Radicals”. If you read the book it should be entitled “Rules for spoiled brats.” Saul Alinsky was a supposed Humanitarian, I say supposed because it’s a fact that many subversive groups embed themselves in with the poor and minorities. In most cases if you’re a humanitarian group you are helping the poor by teaching them how to fill out a job application and the importance of having a good work ethic and telling them to continue their education and become an independent individual.

Right? However, leftist groups tend to exploit the poor and minorities instead and use them as pawns in their fight to take over. Once the establishment is taken over the newly found government is usually worse than the previous government. Why? Well it boils down to inexperience and limited intelligence and the concept that activists make poor level headed diplomatic and logical leaders.

Let me also point out that Saul Alinsky was once employed by Frank Nitty who was Al Capone’s second in command to Chicago’s Criminal activities. Impressed yet? Another of Obama’s role models is (Obama proclaims this on video) Frank Marshall Davis, once the chief editor of the Chicago Star, a communist newspaper with the motto of” Forward”. Does this ring a bell yet?

If that’s not a dead giveaway I don’t know what is! No, it didn’t start with Obama but he opened the door for more trouble and escorted it in because of his affiliation with a lot of subversive antagonistic groups such as the communist party etc. who is touting that the communists were making inroads towards democracy which is more misinformation. The communists are miserable people and want to make everyone else just as miserable and couldn’t care less about democracy since they’re obviously communist.

So why is there so much lying and misinformation being passed around? I’ll tell you why, the liberals and the mass media do not want to see the conservatives succeed because the conservatives have a better plan and its working. Take Wisconsin’s Governor Scott Walker who found himself up against a recall election in 2012 supported by antagonistic liberals and Milwaukee’s liberal mayor Tom Barrett who by the way was on the losing side of that recall (fiasco) election. That just goes to show you, you can’t keep stepping on the feet of conservative voters.

Recently The Wisconsin state Assembly passed the bill for Foxconn. The state Senate must now pass it in identical form before it goes forward into the hands of Walker for his signature and approval. Foxconn has said the plant could employ up to 13,000 workers. Scott Walker is now touting the potential that a massive Foxconn Technology Group plant being built in Wisconsin could have not only 13,000 jobs on hand but it’s a positive note for Wisconsin's health care industry.

Walker specifies that it’s a remarkable opportunity for Wisconsin’s job market and the health industry. Walker was addressed the University of Wisconsin Hospital doctors and other university leaders a couple weeks ago to mention the statewide benefits that the display screen manufacturing facility will bring to the state of Wisconsin. Now consider that the Wisconsin state assembly passed the measure on a 59-30 vote, with three Democrats joining 56 majority Republicans in support. Twenty-eight Democrats and two Republicans voted against it.

Did you read the aforementioned paragraph? There are thirty democrats on the Wisconsin State assembly and 28 of them want to stick to their high and mighty ideology and of course cast their seats to the wind by stepping on the progress of Scott Walker and the people of Wisconsin and the job market. That my friend is a case in point that proves beyond a shadow of doubt that the democrats don’t care about you or me. If it was up to the democrats Wisconsinites would be on welfare while they (the democrats) sit back and collect their paychecks and run the State of Wisconsin into the ground.

The Local liberal newspaper the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel is reporting that” Wisconsin Republicans are failing the people of our state and are unabashedly putting political gain over the needs of its people.” Really? It sounds to me like the liberal Journal Sentinel needs to examine who is really looking for political gain.

The net result is that the democrats are now losing the battleground by not getting their candidates and proponents into office even though they spend (waste) large amounts of cash to support their efforts and it should be a slam dunk but alas it’s not. Democrats are being uprooted and thrown to the pasture. They are being ousted because of their true leanings towards the American people of the United States. Now to reaffirm that if the contemporary news media doesn’t straighten their act out, there will be a revolt against them as well because they are the components of this antithetical movement that the left has created. Joseph Goebbels would be proud of them.
